TIE CENTRAL. STATION.


The dimensions of this building are
5oXl2O feet, and it is divided into suit
OF Offices in the front part followed
by the power room. 50xS0 feet.
and back of this large apart
ment is the boiler room, which will be
described first. There are SIX boilers in
battarieS Of two each. with combined
capocity OF 800 horsepower. so c0nnec-
ted with pipes that there are two main
Steam pipes reaching out into the power
room directly over the engines. From
these main pipes branches distribute the
steam 10 the six engines. each main pipe
supplying three. This ARRANGEMENT is
To avoid acridentand TO make the power
absolutely trustworthy. No such thing
as Il brakcdOwn can possibly occur.
which in a lighting plant, whether
gas or electricity, is very OBJ
Jectionable. This is accomplished by a
series of valves, allowing one or more
boilers To be used. and either one or
both OF the main steam pipes. The
power room is very handsome apart
ment. the ceiling being two stories in
height, well lighted and ventilated.
On Its floor, bolted to massive ma
SSonry, are six high speed engines of 150-
horse power e2ch, each engine turning
two dynam0S of l,2Oo-light capacity,
thus making a combined capacity
OF almost fifteen thousand lamps.
This company started March and has
already $500 lamps in operation, and
new ones arc being placed at the rate of
fifty per day, so popular has the system
become. The object of the company is
to Supplant gas. The power is contin-
uouS day and night. and no accident can
break 1t down, 50 that the service is per-
fectly reliable.
The superiority OF the Edison incan-
descent light is too well known for
much comment. Suffice it to say that
it is perfectly safe, as grasping the posi-
tive and negative wires as they come
from the dynamo they will only
give a shock as strong as a
physicians ordinary medical bat
terry. Electrical storms have 10 eff
feet on the wires and consequently do
not effect the lamps, and it is the only
system where each light can be turned
off and on just as with gas. The rates
are cheaper than any other illuminant
known, except oil, and the light
is the only ,>crfect Ole in existence, as
it gives forth 10 heat, smoke or noise,
and Is perfectly steady. When the Edi-
son system is brought into contest
with others it shows its superiority in a
very marked degree, coming out of
every competition with record of value
of from twelve to thirteen times that OF
any other system.
At the electrical exhibition of the
Franklin institute. in 1885, there was q
lamp test of 1,C,W hours, each system
running tWenty-Ono lamps. At the end
of the stated time it was found that the
Edison had lost but one lamp, while
the others had either lost all, or
as high as seventeen out Of the number
started with. In Paris and London, in
1882, in Cincinnati and Louisville in
1888, and at all other electrical exhibi-
tionS of prominence the Edison system
has carried OF every diploma and gold
medal. Fully realizing the above facts,
the GLOBE Publishing company have
lighted their new building entirely by
this system, using go lamps.

Elevators as Are Elcyators.

From the several systems of freight
and passenger elevators, the GLOBE
management selected for its new build
ing those of the W. f. Hale Elevator
company, purely on the ground of in
trinSic merit. This concern has won an
enviable reputation in their line and
the products OF their extensive manu-
factory are shipped to all quarters of the
globe. Their contract called for two
passenger and one freight elevator, and
they are the most rapid and best work
ing OF any in the city. The passenger
elevators arc perfect gems in their
way. being artlstically constructed of
different col0red bronzes and orna-
mental iron work; they have rapid,
steady motion not unpleasant to those
riding. All the Hale elevators are con
Structed inr absolute safety, and there
has never been al accident credited to
them since the establishment of the
company. No two elevators in the
Northwest carry as many passengers as
these two. They are always kept run
ming day and night, and thus the pub
lie are able to test the efficacy of the
system. There is bat one verdict and
that is of the highest praise. MIR. Jen-
